Lust and Love

♨10 : Intense movie-marathon

Jennifer Lopez's POV

Today is Tuesday and it seems that going to Ryan's apartment and hanging out with him is normal. So today again, after doing appointments with my management, Ryan picks me at our "meeting place" where no one notices us or else we'll be up on tabloids saying we're dating, well in fact of course.. we're not. It will be my third visit on his place. And we're glad his place is safe, there were not much creepy paps and stalkers unlike Downtown because the place has security for the safety of A-listers dwelling there.

Alex is still away but we're communicating through text or he calls/facetime me at night. Max and Emmé are in school and I've got nothing much to do since my schedule is not that hectic and so is Ryan's. And Leah is all love-up with her Beau Casper.

I don't know what did that Casper do to my bestfriend and I can't do anything about it. At least she's having fun out there. And so I also have to find my own fun time.

But it turns out Ryan brings me to his hometown in Sacramento cause his parents and his brother went to San Francisco just this morning and he's left to look after the house. And because I haven't gone there..

It usually takes hours to drive from Los Angeles to Sacramento but with him, I never felt boring the whole ride cause we were talking about a lot of things the whole time..

And now here I am, doing a scary-movie-marathon with Ryan. We were trying to see who gets scared first. I know the idea is kinda childish and I'm too old for that but it was too funny to see a grown-up guy like him to get scared by a fake possessed woman in the movie. I can't believe how could he be convinced to those movies and gets scared when in fact we both work in the acting industry?

Of course he thinks I easily get scared and he wants to make fun of me. Turns out he was the one who almost jumps off from the couch when something creepy comes up in the screen. It's either he looks somewhere else but pretends to be still paying attention to the movie, or he cracks his knuckles to disturb himself, or eats a handful of popcorn.

And I admit, he's so cute when he does those things. I can't believe someone like a Ryan Guzman can actually get scared of a fictitious horror movie. Instead of getting scared, I'm laughing the whole time with all his reactions.

After 3 movies, it is getting dark outside, I actually got scared too but I can definitely say that Ryan was more scared. Especially when the movie says "Based on a true story".

"I might soon as well move back here with my parents cause I can't live at my apartment alone anymore!" He jokes.

"Let's just switch to a different genre. Let's see what you got here.." I say as I kneel down to open the drawer just below the DVD player.

I scan through the pile of tapes and the first one I see is.. *drum roll*

"Oh baby you still have this?" I say raising the tape to show him.

"Of course I keep and take care of that. I have another copy at my apartment."

I open the case and plug in the tape into the player.

"Gonna watch it." I wink at him as I press play and our very own movie The Boy Next Door starts on the screen.



We're so focused on the movie even though it's basically "our" movie. Thirty minutes passes by and that infamous bed scene is about to start. I can't look at Ryan then I feel uneasy. I regret plugging that tape into the player. I should have just chose another horror movie.

"Noah I can't.. I have to go.." Claire Peterson, my character, says to Ryan's character, Noah, who is currently seducing her.

I slowly glance at Ryan to see what's his expression but he also looks back at me, so I pretend to turn back to the movie. What's up with me?! I am an actress my whole life and has a professional mind but why do I feel malicious and giggling inside while watching my own sex scene? And because my partner in that scene is beside me and he's fucking hot. No, what. Erase that.. Erase..

I try looking back to him and shit Ryan is already looking at me. And not just in that moment. HE'S PROBABLY JUST STARING AT ME THE WHOLE TIME.

And god you always know, Ryan's glares always melts any girl.

Miérda. He looks so hot and so fine..

Claire was almost naked in front of Noah and I didn't pay much attention to it afterwards.

Ryan and I are sitting so close with each other on a couch and we're still looking at each other eye-to-eye so I ask just to break the awkward silence, "What?"

I don't know why but my voice came out like I'm trying to seduce him. Turns out I'm the one who's being seduced.. or maybe both.. and I kind of.. like it..?

I don't know what element drive us, but without further words being told, we both move closer towards each other and lean forward till I feel Ryan's soft warm lips on mine.

And I just know something's about to happen..
